Let’s consider we are deep stacked.
Preflop nothing new, we are both raising and calling 3-bet for our hand has a good playability postflop.
However, when we call a 3-bet our range turns capped to certain types of
hands (worst hands would insta fold and best hands would 4-bet more often, or a 100% of times not to play a 3-way pot OOP).
In spite of our hand, we are most of times dominated by AT, AJ, AQ, AK, KJ, KQ, QT, QJ, and TT+, you name it we are in a real bad position postflop even when we hit the flop good.
We are definitely not leading this flop, for we don’t own the best hands for it. If we had it we would’ve 4-bet preflop, right?
As long as we hold most of tens and jacks we are expecting to get calls from what kind of range? Not a rethorical question, I would love to read your answer.
Lucky to us, the original 3-bettor have folded and SB called and we must assume that it must have a capped range like us.
We are betting for value on a blanked turn, so once again which type of hands we expect to call here? Ax? Some Ax that isn’t A4, AT or AJ for those have us dead.
There’s no flush draw that villain could pursuit, so we are wishing to get calls from Kx or Qx, but those will fold most of times for they own just a gutter.
Your sizing should’ve made most of losing hands to fold and only winning hands to continue. Now, when villain raises is very odd, because if villain has a straight completed there was no need to be doing it, so we assume villain has a strong hand but not the nuts for this turn.
And LOL!!!! Unexpectedly, villain has too much hope and had KK overplayed postflop. Villain should’ve made a 4-bet preflop, so most certainly you would’ve folded your JTs, but villain decided to slow play the hand preflop, and postflop, villain wasn’t playing his range, but his hole cards: villain planned to go all-in when the hand began preflop and none board texture would change its mind out of it; What a BIG pot!!! In a deep stacked pot, lucky to us that it decided to do it having just a strong pocket pair and a gutshot.
This is the sole objective of cash games: to play in position versus weaker opponents, and we see how much our winrate can grow by doing so.
Cheers;
